Kid Sense is committed to ensuring all children with developmental needs can access at the very least ‘bite-sized’ therapy options in the short term, whilst potentially considering more substantial, long-term therapy. Whilst regular therapy appointments involving direct contact between therapist between child are ideal to ensure developmental progress, applying bite-size therapy activities, recommendations and advice that is tailored to your child can help make developmental progress at a slow and gentle rate. The difference between ideal and ‘bite sized’ therapy is the method, duration and frequency of the therapy, and thus the cost. Budget Therapy options are delivered by experienced therapists, and are therapy in its their own rate. These shorter than usual therapy options simply involve less student/therapist direct contact (favouring parent contact instead), and more general application of recommendations and strategies by the parent rather than the therapist.
We know parents want the very best for their children. We can’t all afford the “gold star” version of all the things we’d like to give our children, but the competent and engaging “standard” option can still be beneficial, albeit producing slower developmental progress. If nothing else, knowledge gives the power to make informed choices, and to make the small but significant changes in the everyday support of a child with developmental challenges. Budget therapy options can be delivered by Phone, Tele-therapy or written recommendation following conversation with the parent or carer.
Budget therapy options can include one, two or all three of the therapy staples:
On if, when, and why therapy referral is appropriate, as well as what therapy is the best fit based upon the parents report of the child.
To support children in the home or educational setting
On how to manage developmental challenges including the resulting behaviour whilst you work towards managing the underlying reason for the challenge
We acknowledge the land on which we operate as the traditional lands of the Kaurna people, and pay our respects to the spiritual relationship with country that all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples hold.
Kid Sense is founded on inclusion and the belief that everyone is welcome. All diversity is celebrated, encouraged, represented and supported in our staff, our clients, and our community. You are welcome here.
